ronald reagan said roughly these words. he had seen four wars begin during his lifetime. not one began because america was too strong. i want a military that is second to none in the world so that nobody will think about testing america's might. this is a battle for the course of america. we are going to have a president who would put in place more $1 trillion deficits. who is going to hurt small businesses and employ ohsobamacare on the nation. he will continue shutting off some of the fossil fuel sources that power the majority of our economy. that leads to a continuing american decline and difficulty at the pump and workplace. my policy is different. i will balance the budget. i will get rid of obamacare. i will pull resources back into the united states of america. i will make our military second to none in the world. this is a critical choice between two different contrasts. to win it, we need somebody that understands how the economy works, living in it. there are other good people working -- running. newt gingrich and mr. santorum. they spent their careers in washi

it's not about ronald reagan. it's about bill clinton and reform. it's about presidential leadership and providing cover to your own party. and i'm not going to speak for javier. wouldn't dare do that. but democrats immediate a little help. we had a veto threat which wasn't done the way president obama wanted it done and that's not leadership. so i think it requires a couple of things. one, taking what i think is a consensus among folks, not just the elite, that we're in a serious fiscal crisis. crisis is not too long a word to use. and second is leadership on what are the solutions. you're right, people concerned about raising taxes, concerned about cuts to popular benefit programs. but if there is sense of the greater good and both have restraint and growth, i think people can move it forward. but it requires leadership in terms of the solutions. >> you've got to jump in here. >> well, two years before president reagan's tax reform in '86, he he worked with congress to pass deficit reduction plan. 80% of that deficit reduction plan relied on tax r
